Ingo Grevemeyer

Ingo Grevemeyer is a Scientist at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Marine Research and an apl-Professor at Christian-Albrechts University in Kiel. He specializes in marine geodynamics, focusing on the seismotectonics of plate boundary zones, particularly transform faults, subduction zones, and mid-ocean ridges. His research involves ocean-bottom seismometer (OBS) deployments and geophysical data analysis to study seismicity, source mechanisms, crustal structure, and tectonics. He has participated in 37 marine geophysical cruises, serving as chief scientist 18 times.

His research interests span seismotectonics, marine geophysics, crustal seismology, and heat flow surveys of mid-ocean ridges, hotspot provinces, and subduction zones. His recent work, funded by an Advanced Grant of the European Research Council, explores the seismotectonics of transform faults.

Over the past decade, Grevemeyer has published extensively on topics such as subduction zone dynamics, transform fault earthquakes, mantle serpentinization, and crustal accretion. His peer-reviewed output includes 154 publications, with 37 as first author, reflecting a strong h-index of 41 (Web of Science) and 49 (Google Scholar).
